S2-E32 - “Defectors from the PRC to Taiwan, 1960-1989: The Anti-Communist Righteous Warriors” - Part Two

Picking up on last week's conversation between the University of
Southern California East Asian
Studies Center's Li-ping Chen and author Andrew D.
Morris -- a very special collaborative double episode with
Formosa Files -- we learn more about how North/South Korean Cold
War tensions affected air force defections from the PRC. As
flying from northern China to Taiwan was almost impossible, most
defectors taking off from the north headed to South Korea. The
pair also give us more details on the rewards these "righteous
warriors" received after arrival in Taiwan. This interview
